Question Posted Wednesday November 2 2005, 5:58 pm
Football at my school ended a few days ago and we're going to offseason. I'm the first guard and my name is usualy one of the top 5 called out of the coach's mouth.I'm around 200lbs and an excellent defensive lineman. I have done everything to try and get the coach to notice my defensive ability, but he seaces to put me on defence. I have put quite a few people on the ground, including a freight train of a WR. I'm not bad on offense but I'm better on defense. How can I get the coach to let me on defence next year? I WANT TO HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW. it is two different worlds. needless to say i got addected. problem was couch needed someone to play o-line. so if i wanted the job i had to do both. maybe that is what your problem is. you couch probably really needs you on the offence. all you have to do is show him you can do both. in the mean time maybe he will spot someone to take over your spot on offence. just talk to him and let him know were you are coming from. i miss football. nothing like lighting up an all star running back and watching him try to stand up afterwards. good luck man.

Ha...Your coach might think your better on offense and thats why he put you there, but it wont hurt to ask to be put on defense. Just tell your coach you were wondering if you could play defense next year. Tell him you think you have a good enough skill, and that he should watch you during practice or whatever. As long as you ask, he'll tell you a straight up answer or watch you more during practice to see that you've got what it takes to be on defense. Good luck =) [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
